Telegraph Fantasy Football 17/18 tips: Week 3 round-up

Follow the author of this article

Manchester United were the only side in Week 3 to maintain their 100% winning start to the season, churning out a 2-0 victory at home to Leicester.

Spurs suffered more woes at Wembley, conceding a 92nd minute equaliser to Burnley, and Arsenal's fate was even worse as they were battered 4-0 by Liverpool.

Player of the week

Ciaran Clark was the player of the week, topping the charts with 12 TFF points. Newcastle's £2.9m rated defender scored and kept a full clean sheet as the Magpies ran out 3-0 winners at home to West Ham.

Manager of the week

Andrew Burrows from Chesterfield was the manager of the week, scooping himself a £100 first prize. His team, Secretary 4 u, chalked up an incredible total of 106 points, almost three times the national average (36).

Premier League team of the week

Chelsea and Liverpool players dominate the team of the week, with seven of the XI featuring from one of the two sides.

David de Gea was the best performing goalkeeper for a third straight gameweek, with teammate Marcus Rashford also sneaking in with nine TFF points.

Market movers

The four most transferred in players of the week are from Manchester United and it's easy to see why. Jose Mourinho's side look a real force this season and three straight wins - with three clean sheets - have put them 49 points clear at the top of the stats centre.

Paul Pogba, Eric Bailly, Romelu Lukaku and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are the most popular additions, with Tottenham's Harry Kane close behind.

The £7m-rated striker has never scored a Premier League goal in August and with that month finally out of the way, perhaps we'll see his name back on the scoresheet after the international break.

On the way out are Kyle Walker, Sergio Aguero, Kevin de Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane - all have yet to get out of second gear this season.
